I was dating someone and he just stopped talking to me after I made a mistake. I keep telling myself that it's over and that I'm over him, but then something happens like a song comes on that we used to listen to all the time and I start thinking about him again.
I've tried talking to him, just trying to be his friend so I could get over him, but he doesn't want to talk to me. I gave up on that, but I still think about him and I miss him, because he was part of my life for a period of time and now he's just gone. It's really hard just to try to adjust your life without him in it.
I still have a few texts on my cell phone that he sent me, but I can't bring myself to delete those either.
He brought out the best in me, after I was depressed on and off, cutting myself, drinking, he changed it all and I think that might be the reason I can't just let him go.
Do you have any ideas how I can talk to him again to thank him, or should I let go?

hope i helped. [ fall_to_pieces's advice column | Ask fall_to_pieces A Question ]
godslildevil777 answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 4:45 am: i think you should find a way to leave him one last messege. thank him for everything he has done for you and tell him you love him but you are letting go and then just try to move on. it took me 2 years and i had EXACTLY the same situation you are in. and i mean EXACTLY the same. don't try and surround yourself with other guys like i did though. it will end up bad because then you could end up dating someone just to get over him and thats not right. i did it and hurt us both. if i knew what the mistake was i could tell you exactly how to fix this so that he will talk to you again because now my ex is talking to me again. if it isn't something really bad then he should forgive you in time. how long has it been since you guys broke up? let me know ok? i'm here for you and i can help you through this. i've been through the same thing. trust me i know what i'm doing lol.

I really think you should NOT give up on this. Keep trying. Talk to him EVERY DAY and tell him how much you care about him... you can't just let go of someone like that.
You think of him a lot and I'm sure he thinks of you, too.
Talk to him. Tell him how much he has chnged your life... forever. Tell him that you care about him and no matter what, you always will. Tell him that you don't think you'll ever be happy again if he's not in your life. Tell him it's not easy to be someone like you, with a lot of feelings that go unnoticed. Just tell him how you feel.
If he has a heart, he'll listen and hang on to your every word.
Remember, you can talk to me anytime, if you need to.
x0julie answered Tuesday July 26 2005, 6:34 pm: You don't have to let go if you're not willing to, but you need to give him some space. If he's angry at you for this mistake that you made, then he has every right to be mad. If you really want to talk to him to thank him, but the feeling's not mutual, then you should write him a letter. That way, you don't have to confront him, but it's not too impersonal. Tell him how you feel and how he changed you for the better. When you see that he's moved on, then that MIGHT be the time for you to move on also. Everyone lets go at different rates, but when the time is right, you'll know when to let go. Good luck! [ x0julie's advice column | Ask x0julie A Question ]
millenniumos26 answered Tuesday July 26 2005, 6:22 pm: Well, first, try to find out ways to correct the mistake.
Personally, there was a girl I knew, who I never was close to going out with, but we were friends, and we had many arguments and fights. So, we spent a little time apart, and then a few weeks later, we were friends again.
